Digital Image Strips

Luftbildstreifen

The digital cameras ADS80 are not film based. Instead the landscape is scanned in strips with a linear scanner (12,000 pixel) in black and white, color (RGB) and in infra-red. The large and therefore voluminous pallet of data allows for very different highly professional uses, such as for instance 3D restitution.
